are we are own worst enemies?
Jazz nut, You really need to evaluate what you own. If you have bought a new sony receiver for 1,000 then $500 would be tops unless somone really wanted that unit.Which is again based on supply and demand. There are some High end audio manufacture... 
Tweeter absolutely silent. What could be the reason?
hello, It can be an open coil but I would unscrew the back of your speaker cabinet and check that the tweeter wires are in place. Maybe one of the wires came undone which can be caused be vibration. Some speakers have a harness from the tweeter to... 
Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like?
Ok here it goes. I owned a 331 for 2 years and sold to upgrade to the 335 and when I did my mouth hit the floor with the improvements Levinson had made. Prior to owning the Levinson gear I had a Krell Ksa 150 which was nice but the Levinson killed... 
Krell , Martin Logans Mark Levinson?
Thank you for your input eveyone. I had the all levinson system and it sounded better than anything I ever owned. Then you start reading and talking to people and I had some suggestions about replacing the 335 with a krell they said it would have ... 
Best speaker with tubes?
B&Ws are very nice with tubes. If you put the wrong electronics on the B&Ws you can get some siblance. The Martin Logans would also be a very nice choice. The revels are the best out of the above mentioned, But they mate the best with Levi... 
laid back, warm interconnects with tight bass clean highs
I would recommend Tara Labs. They are great sounding warm smooth and laid back. The Cardas is also warm and laid back but they are to warm which will give you a false presentation of the music. Good Luck 
best cd player for 2500- 3500
The best player you can get for that price is a used Mark Levinson 39 It retails for 6,000 and you can pick one up for 3,000 to 3,500 and it will blow anything you can buy for new retail in your price range away. It rivals the best cd players on t... 
monitor w/ bass?
I highly recommend the B&W N805s they have a very articulate midrange very open. And they where reviewed and they the reviewer stated that they where capable of producing subteranian bass notes.For a little monitor. Good Luck 
What Speakers ??
well, You dont want to get a speaker that is to to revealing because if you have anything in your system that is not up to par your speakers will reveal it. If your thinking of building by always upgrading you should find a speaker you love and bu... 
the best of five channel amp....
I would recomend the Classe cav 150 it retails for around $3,000 new and they are not making them anymore they replaced it with the Cav 180 which is also very nice but you can get a good deal on a used 150. They have a very natural sound. Good Luck 
3 player shortlist, help me make a choice.....
In response to Jtinn warning you away from the Levinson 39. He is correct about it being replaced by the 390 but you can buy a used 39 between 3,000 and 3,500 and at that price there isnt a cd player that even comes close to the 39 even at full re... 
What is the cause of my sibilance problem?
no offense but your b&k is dark and cold sounding and when you turn it up is when you will hear your problem. Pick warmer gear than the b&k I used to own it and went through the same problem. Also get a center that matches your front speak... 
How can I make my own acoustic materials?
Yes you can. Here is what you do, Go to Home depot and ask them for Duct Board it comes in 4`x8` sheets which is coated fiberglass insulation and you can cut them anyway you like. Then you can go to a fabric store and pick out what ever material y... 
3 player shortlist, help me make a choice.....
Hello, Can I make a suggestion? I would encourge you to try the Mark Levinson 39 Cd Player. It has many features to offer many more than any other you mentioned above. Also it can be ran directly to your amplifier if need be. It has an anologe vol... 
ML 39 w/Bryston amp and Thiel 2.3?
I dont act as a apologist. I just call a spade a spade its a great unit. What else can I say? There are many great players out there. I happen to like the 39 more than others. It is the most flexable unit on the market. Hands down. I shouldnt be j...
